Hareem, can you explain the difference between “single cream” & “double cream”? Here in the US, we pretty much just have “heavy whipping cream” in the grocery stores…or “half and half”, which is half cream/half whole milk. In most of my cook books from UK/India/Pakistan, I see these other terms for cream, and it gets confusing when trying to translate the ingredients…help!

Hey Khatti,

Heavy whipped, half and half, double and single cream, they are all different. Half and half is half milk and half cream as you said, single cream is low fat and quite liquidy in consistency. Heavy whipped cream can be used as a substitute for double cream, double cream is little bit more thicker than the heavy whipping cream but quite similar in consistency and its fatty taste.
